Part 5: Saturday
(Click on the image to enlarge)
| When we wake up on Saturday morning, it's turned all white outside: it's started snowing, and it's so misty that houses only a few hundred yards away are hardly visible! As we pack and get ready to leave, it starts to brighten up a little - but the mountains on the other side of the valley are still totally hidden behind the clouds (right). |

So we're back on the funicular, sitting right at the front of the train. As we go down the steep mountain slope, we snap away at the landscape - and look! Just by pure chance, we've managed to end up with this shot of yet more icicles! |

Round things à la Suisse: the cable pulling the funicular train goes around these wheels :-) (If you don't get the reference, you obviously haven't seen the Food Group webpages yet...) |

| Geneva Airport is packed with people returning home from their skiing holidays, the check-in process is a nightmare. But we manage to sit down for a glass of wine and endless fags at the bar before boarding our Easyjet flight home, so all is well... :-) | |
